Abstract
A railway system and a method for forwarding data in a railway system are described. Railway signaling devices are arranged near the rails. Other devices associated with the railway signaling devices each have a unique identifier, with two adjacent devices exchanging signals with one another via the rails. To transmit information in addition to the data for safely controlling the railway signaling devices without reducing the transmission capacity for the data for the safe control, a portion of the data can include the identifier of the origination device, the information and the identifier of the target device. When these data are forwarded, a first device transmits the data to the immediately following second device in the direction of the target device. The second device receives and stores the data, and returns the data to the first device, which then compares the returned data with the initially transmitted data and acknowledges to the second device the identity between the data.
Description
- This application claims the priority of German Patent Application, Serial No. 10 2005 037 801.3, filed Aug. 3, 2005, pursuant to 35 U.S.C. 119(a)-(d), the subject matter of which is/are incorporated herein by reference.
- The present invention relates to a railway system and a method for forwarding data in a railway system.
- Nothing in the following discussion of the state of the art is to be construed as an admission of prior art.
- Railway systems with track-bound vehicles moving on tracks are known. The tracks are typically formed of two rails, with railway signals for controlling movement of the railway cars typically arranged proximate to the tracks. Associated with the railway signals are safety devices which exchange data with each other, whereby the data are exchanged bidirectionally over both rails of the track. For data exchange, digital electrical signals in form of signal pulses, in particular electrical current pulses, are transmitted over the two electrically conducting rails. This principle is also referred to as bidirectional encoded track circuit. Each of the data consists of one or more current pulses transmitted within a cycle time, which is divided into predetermined time intervals.
- The data are exchanged between corresponding to immediately adjacent safety devices in temporally alternating sequential transmit and receive cycles.
- If the track is disrupted or faulty, the supervisory safety devices send a general error or maintenance message, which is forwarded in the aforedescribed manner to all safety devices of the railway system.
- It would be desirable and advantageous to provide an improved system and method for transmitting additional data in addition to the data that safely control the railway signaling devices, which obviates prior art shortcomings and is able to specifically transmit the additional data without adversely affecting the transmission for the control data.
- According to one aspect of the present invention, a railway system with at least one track having at least two rails includes a plurality of railway signaling devices for controlling track-bound vehicles moving along the rails and a plurality of associated safety devices which each have a unique identifier. Two directly adjacent safety devices exchange bidirectionally data via the rails, wherein the data are exchanged sequentially step-by-step in alternating transmit and receive cycles. A portion of the data includes an identifier of the originating safety device, useful information, and an identifier of the destination safety device. When the data are forwarded, a respective first safety device transmits the data to a directly following second safety device arranged in the direction of the destination safety device, with the second safety device receiving the data, storing the data and returning the data to the first safety device. The first safety device compares the returned data with the originally transmitted data and confirms to the second safety device agreement between the originally transmitted and the returned data.
- According to another aspect of the invention, in a railway system with at least one track with at least two rails, a plurality of railway signaling devices for controlling track-bound vehicles moving along the rails, and a plurality of associated safety devices and each having a unique identifier, a method includes the steps of the safety devices exchanging data bidirectionally data via the rails, wherein the data are exchanged sequentially step-by-step in alternating transmit and receive cycles, with a portion of the data including an identifier of the originating safety device, useful information, and an identifier of the destination safety device, forwarding the data by having a respective first safety device transmit the data to a directly following second safety device arranged in the direction of the destination safety device, the second safety device receiving the data, storing the data and returning the data to the first safety device, and the first safety device comparing the returned data with the originally transmitted data and confirming to the second safety device agreement between the originally transmitted and the returned data.
- According to another feature of the present invention, the data can include message data, in particular fault messages, or command data, or both, and the useful information can be included in the data as a message code or a command code.
- According to another feature of the present invention, the first safety device can confirm the agreement between the originally transmitted and returned message data or command data, or both, by ceasing transmission of the message data or command data.
- According to another feature of the present invention, the system can include a memory stack associated with the respective safety device for buffering the message data or command data.
- Other features and advantages of the present invention will be more readily apparent upon reading the following description of currently preferred exemplified embodiments of the invention with reference to the accompanying drawing, in which:
-
FIG. 1 shows a schematic illustration of two directly adjacent track sections of a railway system; -
FIG. 2 shows a schematic illustration of several connected devices according toFIG. 1 ; and -
FIG. 3 shows a memory stack with message data and/or command data. - Throughout all the Figures, same or corresponding elements are generally indicated by same reference numerals. These depicted embodiments are to be understood as illustrative of the invention and not as limiting in any way. It should also be understood that the drawings are not necessarily to scale and that the embodiments are sometimes illustrated by graphic symbols, phantom lines, diagrammatic representations and fragmentary views. In certain instances, details which are not necessary for an understanding of the present invention or which render other details difficult to perceive may have been omitted.
- Turning now to the drawing, and in particular to
FIG. 1 , there is shown a schematic illustration of an exemplary railway system according to the present invention with two directlyadjacent track sections track sections rails rails track sections rails 3 of the continuous track by insulators 4 (insulation joints). Disposed in the area of each of theinsulators 4 are correspondingrailway signaling systems rails - The

supervisory devices railway signaling devices electrical connection 7. -
FIG. 2 is a schematic diagram of an exemplary railway system with fourdevices FIG. 1 . Data between thedevices devices transceivers FIG. 1 ) that are connected with therail - The data typically includes data for safely controlling the
railway signaling devices - Unlike to the data for safely controlling the
railway signaling devices originating devices destination device -
FIG. 2 shows thedevice 61 which has the identifier K1 being connected to afault reporting center 12 which receives the messages. - The transmission of message data from the
device 63 with the identifier K3 to thefault reporting center 12 will now be described. Thedevice 63 with the identifier K3 transmits the message data initially on thepath 13 to thedevice 62 with the identifier K2, because thedevice 62 is located in the direction of thetarget device 61 with the identifier K1, thus being the device directly followingdevice 63 in this direction. Thedevice 62 receives, stores and returns the received message data to thedevice 63 via thepath 14. The originatingdevice 63 with the identifier K3 then compares the returned data with the originally transmitted data and confirms agreement between the originally transmitted and returned data by ceasing transmission of the message data. If the data to not agree, the message data is forwarded to thedevice 62 with the identifier K2 until the originally transmitted and returned data agree. After agreement is confirmed, thedevice 62 with the identifier K2 forwards the message data to thedevice 61 with the identifier K1 (path 15).Device 61 receives, stores and returns the data to thesafety device 62 with the identifier K2, which also ceases to transmit the message data if the two message data agree. Thesafety device 61 with the identifier K1 is identical with thedestination safety device 61. Therefore, thedevice 61 with the identifier K1 forwards the message data to thefault reporting center 12. - If, in another situation,
device 62 with the identifier K2 were to send the message data to thedevice 64 with the identifier K4, then the transmission occurs likewise on thepath 17, with the data being returned on thepath 18. After agreement between the data is confirmed, as before, the message data are subsequently transmitted from thedevice 63 with the identifier K3 via thepaths device 64 and acknowledged. - Moreover, a command can be sent, for example to the
device 63 with the identifier K3, from a command center, from thefault reporting location 12 or from one of thedevices -
FIG. 3 shows schematically amemory stack 23, which stores, for example buffers, the message data and/orcommand data 24 in thedevices target device 61, . . , 64, on the left side, theactual message code 24 a in the center, and the identifier K1, . . , K4 of theoriginating device 61, . . , 64 on the right side. Eachdevice 61, . . , 64 can include arespective memory stack 23. This is advantageous, in particular, because message data and/orcommand data 24 have a lesser transmission priority than the data for safely controlling thesignaling devices - The transmit and receive cycles have a logical structure consisting each of a predetermined number of time intervals, and can be lengthened for increasing the number of
transmittable codes 24 a in the transmission of the message data and/orcommand data 24. The message data and/orcommand data 24 and the data for safety controlling therailway signaling devices command data 24 can also include an identification pulse, which can be within a cycle time the first signal pulse of an electrical signal, and can have a negative or positive polarity independent of the polarity of the following signal pulse. - While the invention has been illustrated and described in connection with currently preferred embodiments shown and described in detail, it is not intended to be limited to the details shown since various modifications and structural changes may be made without departing in any way from the spirit of the present invention. The embodiments were chosen and described in order to best explain the principles of the invention and practical application to thereby enable a person skilled in the art to best utilize the invention and various embodiments with various modifications as are suited to the particular use contemplated.
- What is claimed as new and desired to be protected by Letters Patent is set forth in the appended claims and includes equivalents of the elements recited therein:
